In the courtyard outside the textile factory, after Yan Bugui left, Wang Meili put on a green cheongsam, held a small fan, and walked out with her butt shaking.
The neighbors in the compound smiled kindly when they saw Wang Meili dressed in this outfit, and no one thought of reporting it.
Just kidding, even though Wang Meili was originally from Bada Hutong, after years of hard work, she has become an ordinary working people.
Furthermore, she is now nearly sixty years old. Even if she wants to return to her old business, no one will patronize her.
Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Meili has a good reputation. Although she has some problems with her background, her words are frivolous, and her image is not serious, she really helps if anyone in the compound has difficulties.
In particular, at the beginning, Wang Meili was the only literate person in the courtyard. In order to help the comrades in the street office to eliminate illiteracy, she often went door to door to popularize cultural knowledge to the old ladies.
Everyone has long regarded Wang Meili as a kind old lady, but this old lady is a bit different.
After greeting the residents elegantly, Wang Meili left the compound and walked to the first house in the alley next door.
This is a single-family courtyard with gray walls and green bricks all over the floor. There are also flowers planted in the corners of the courtyard. The flowers are bright and blooming, and it looks really beautiful.
Just when Wang Meili was praising the beauty of the flowers, a gentle voice came from behind.
"Sister Beautiful, why are you here? Is something good happening?"
Turning around, she saw Huang Xiaocui holding her waist and standing behind her.
Huang Xiaocui has a charming face, wears a light blue satin cheongsam, and holds an old-style round palace fan. Her graceful appearance makes people feel pity after seeing her.
Alas, this girl is such a pity. If she had been born before liberation, she would have been the number one in the eight alleys, but now she can only live with an old man. You still have to be sneaky.
Wang Meili sighed in her heart, walked up with a smile, grabbed Huang Xiaocui's slender palm, and said with a smile: "Yes, there was a teacher named Yan today. He came to me and wanted me to introduce a partner to his son. His son Yan Jiecheng is A fitter in a steel rolling mill, he is an honest person, and you are the first person I think of."
"Really? Wow, that's great." Huang Xiaocui narrowed her eyes with joy, "I was worried about what I would do if I showed up to be pregnant in a few months!"
Showing your affection? Wang Meili frowned and was waiting to ask.
"OU~" Huang Xiaocui suddenly covered her mouth, ran to the nearby pool, and retched. After a while, she didn't seem to spit out anything, but her face turned red from holding it in.
Huang Xiaocui turned on the faucet and washed briefly. Then she realized that Wang Meili was still there. She was stunned for a moment, then slowly stood up, turned around, and looked at Wang Meili with a sad face. "Sister Meili, since you have seen it, I will not hide it from you. I am pregnant."
Wang Meili's face changed drastically when she heard this, and her eyes widened: "Xiao Cui, this is a fatal matter, are you sure you are not mistaken?"
"How can I be wrong? Huang went through Dr. Zhang from the Fifth Hospital through the back door and gave me a pregnancy test. It was confirmed that I was one month pregnant." Xiaocui lowered her head, looking a little nervous, "Sister Meili, I haven't had any pregnancy since I was a child. Parents, I have always regarded you as my own mother, and I will no longer hide some things from you.
You also know what happened between me and Lao Huang. Although Lao Huang was kind to me and brought me here from Jincheng and arranged for me to work in a textile factory, it was impossible for Lao Huang to obtain a marriage certificate.
First of all, Lao Huang is the director of the lumber factory. He is now in his fifties and I am only twenty. If he marries me, his superiors will definitely investigate him, and the people will say that his style is bad.
In addition, Lao Huang's daughter-in-law's natal family is from the old capital, and several of her brothers are people in the scene. The reason why Lao Huang can become the director is largely due to the influence of his daughter-in-law's natal family.
Sister, you are someone who has been here before. You should know that for a man, power is everything. For the sake of power, it is impossible for him to divorce his wife. "
Wang Meili had a look of reminiscence on her face, as if she was remembering what happened when she was young.
She was only 17 or 18 years old at the time. She was pretty and good at playing, playing, and singing. She was considered the number one in the Bada Hutong. All the dignitaries came here and spent a lot of money just to discuss playing, playing, and singing with her. skills. Although Wang Meili is young, she has lived in the Bada Hutong since she was a child. She has long understood the virtues of men. She is just playing around with those dignitaries. She looks forward to the day when she can save enough money to redeem herself and then find her husband. Married to an honest man.
However, the appearance of a young man broke Wang Meili's plan. The young man was personable, good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He was not impatient like those high-ranking officials who entered the room. Instead, he took Wang Meili with him. Talk about beautiful poems and quatrains, and comment on masterpieces of calligraphy and painting. Wang Meili soon fell. After the Spring Festival, the young master promised to send people to redeem Wang Meili when he returned to the south. Later, the young guest came several times, and Wang Meili served him wholeheartedly.
One day, the young master suddenly ran to Wang Meili's attic in a panic and told her that he was in big trouble and needed a huge amount of money to solve it. Wang Meili had long regarded herself as his, and without any hesitation, she handed over all the money she had worked so hard to save to the young master.
The young master promised that the matter would be resolved and came to help Wang Meili redeem herself. Wang Meili seemed as happy as if she had come back to life again.
It's a pity that after the young master left, he never appeared again.
Day after day, year after year, Wang Meili stood in front of the attic, looking south, always looking forward to seeing that graceful figure.
The beautiful figure became bloated while waiting, the smooth face got wrinkles while waiting, and the clear eyes became cloudy while waiting.
Until the soldiers entered the city, Wang Meili didn't wait for that figure.
When she learned that all the girls had to fend for themselves, Wang Meili realized that the young man would never appear again.
By the way, what's his last name?
Wang Meili shook her head, looked at the pitiful Huang Xiaocui and said, "Xiao Cui, I can help you cover up your trouble, but I'm too big."
Huang Xiaocui also knew this, with tears in her eyes, she grabbed Wang Meili's arm: "Sister Meili, I also know that this matter is embarrassing for you, but you must help me! If the neighbors find out that I gave birth to a child out of wedlock, My whole life is over."
Looking at the miserable Huang Xiaocui, Wang Meili felt like she had seen her former self. She sighed and said, "Okay, as long as you do as I say."
Just as he was speaking, the door to the small courtyard was pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing a gray tunic suit walked in.
When he saw Wang Meili was there, he was stunned for a moment and frowned vaguely.
Huang Xiaocui walked over and said with a smile: "Old Liu, why did you get off work so early?"
Liu Guangde nodded slightly: "I'm a little worried about you! Xiaocui, I've thought about it. If you have a stomachache, our relationship will definitely be exposed, otherwise we will go to the hospital for treatment."
"Done."
Hearing this cold and ruthless voice, Huang Xiaocui felt cold all over, and the hand holding Liu Guangde's arm gently relaxed.
She said with an indifferent expression: "Brother Liu, don't worry, I won't ruin your future. Sister Meili has already found a partner for me. Maybe I will get married in a few years."
"Really?" Liu Guangde was overjoyed at first, but then he realized that his attitude seemed too obvious. He quickly stopped his smile, grabbed Huang Xiaocui's hand, and said reluctantly: "Xiao Cui, you have to understand my difficulties. You also know how powerful the person in my family is. If our relationship is exposed, not only will I be implicated, but you might also be fired from the textile factory and imprisoned in a prison. I am doing this all for us. Two is good.”
Huang Xiaocui is also aware of her current situation. The best way to avoid being scolded is to quickly find a man to take over.
She nodded and said, "Brother Liu, I can understand you."
Liu Guangde breathed a sigh of relief. After so many years, it was impossible to say that he had no feelings for Huang Xiaocui, but in the face of feelings and power, he could only choose power. Even if he were an infatuated man who bore all the pressure, divorced his wife, and then married Huang Xiaocui, the outcome would not be good again.
After all, the relationship between them must be unacceptable to the world.
It was just a pain for Huang Xiaocui. Liu Guangde wanted to say some words of comfort, but Wang Meili's coughing sound came from beside him.
"Wang Matchmaker, you did a good job this time."
When Liu Guangde saw Wang Meili standing in the distance, he calmly let go of Huang Xiaocui's hand, walked slowly to Wang Meili, and took out two large unity sheets from his pocket.
"This is twenty yuan, which is my reward for you."
Matchmaker Wang looked at the money, a trace of greed flashed in her eyes, but she did not reach out, but said lightly.
"Old Liu, Xiaocui is pregnant now. If Xiaocui is found out, I, as a matchmaker, will be implicated. My old lady agreed to introduce Xiaocui to her because she pitied her."
"Don't we just need more money? Tell me, how much is it?" Liu Guangde is a well-informed person. Seeing Wang Meili's look, he knew that she disliked the lack of money.
Liu Guangde is the director in charge of routine work at the lumber factory. He has plenty of ways to get money, otherwise he wouldn't be able to buy such a large yard for Xiaocui.
After learning that Xiaocui was pregnant, Liu Guangde was both happy and distressed. Although he already has three children, people of this era adhere to the concept of having more children, and he is not willing to let Xiaocui abort the child. However, if Xiaocui's belly is allowed to grow, her secret will definitely be exposed, and then she will be in big trouble.
At this time, Wang Meili appeared in Liu Guangde's sight. After several trials, Liu Guangde discovered that this woman from Bada Hutong had a special emotion for Huang Xiaocui, as if she regarded Huang Xiaocui as herself.
After realizing this anomaly, Liu Guangde made inquiries from various sources and found out what happened to Wang Meili.
Only then could he safely entrust Huang Xiaocui's affairs to Wang Meili.
Wang Meili sneered and said, "You are the leader, so I must give you at least a hundred yuan to be worthy of your status."
One hundred yuan is simply a sky-high price! You must know that the wages of factory workers in this era were only a few dozen yuan.
Generally speaking, if a matchmaker can get two or three yuan from being a matchmaker, it is considered good.
However, Liu Guangde was not angry. Instead, he counted eight Unity cards from his handbag, plus the two in his hand, he collected enough money to make one hundred yuan and handed it to Wang Meili.
"Then please."
"Don't worry, I'm not like you men, my words don't count!" Wang Meili took the money and put it in her pocket, never looking at Liu Guangde again.
"Xiao Cui, come here, sister will tell you how to prevent the man from noticing that you are pregnant."
Wang Meili pulled Huang Xiaocui into the room and taught her carefully: "Actually, it is very easy to hide your pregnancy from your man if you are one month pregnant. The most important thing is that when you go to the hospital for an examination, the doctor may deduce based on the examination materials. Pregnancy days.”
"This is no problem. When the time comes, I'll let you do that." Huang Xiaocui opened her mouth and asked, "By the way, Sister Meili, what is the name of my wild husband?"
".His name is Yan Jiecheng."
"Well, when the pregnancy test comes, I will ask Yan Jiecheng to take me to the Fifth Hospital. There are acquaintances of Lao Liu there who can change the test data." Huang Xiaocui said confidently.
"Well, if there are no problems in the hospital, the difficult part will be the delivery. As you know, women are pregnant for ten months, which is about nine months and seven days. Then you have to pretend that you were born one month prematurely. Look. In order to avoid being suspected, you have to do some tricks to make Yan Jiecheng believe that you may give birth prematurely."
"For example, premature birth may cause frequent bleeding."
Wang Meili was well-informed when she was in Bada Hutong and passed on her experience to Huang Xiaocui.
After hearing this, Huang Xiaocui nodded frequently and remembered all the content in her heart. Then she frowned and asked, "Sister Meili, you said there is a way to cover up Pogua's body."
"Well, the day before your wedding, you have to ask Liu Guangde to go to the market to buy a fish bladder, then buy a pigeon, put the pigeon's blood into the fish bladder, and then release it."
Wang Meili said, pointing out the location on Huang Xiaocui's body with her eyes. Huang Xiaocui's eyes widened in shock, she had never thought that she could do this.
"This way you won't be found out?"
Wang Meili patted her chest and promised: "Don't worry, I used this method to deceive many men. But there is one thing you have to pay attention to, that is, you must turn off the lights."
It's all in the dark, and when people are in a state of excitement, they really won't notice those things.
Huang Xiaocui also came over, and immediately understood the truth, nodded and said: "Sister Meimei, thanks to you this time, when I get married to that... yes, Yan Jiecheng, I will definitely thank you."
"Silly girl!" Wang Meili looked at Huang Xiaocui with a bitter smile and shook her head: "Eldest sister just wants you not to make the same mistake as eldest sister. I have inquired about the Yan family. Although the whole family is stingy and likes to take advantage of others, There is no big problem. After you get married and live a good life, eldest sister will be satisfied."
